I've done something horrible...absolutely, horrible.  I feel sick about myself.  I'm disgusted in me, and regret what I have done.  I did something I told myself and others that I would never do.  You're going to hate me, and I dont blame you.  What have I done you ask?

-->                                                                                                          I put a CB radio in my truck.

Does anyone still use CB radio?

Why not just read a book or two and get your amateur radio license and have a whole lot better radio in your truck? Of course you won't be able to use that on CAP freqs either, but it would be a better radio...

You know, there used to be a talking computer.  The company that made it displayed it in shopping malls to show it off.

The first visitor pushed the button, and the computer said:

"I am Brainiac The Computer.  What is your name and IQ?

The visitor said "Joe, 125."

The computer said:  "That's nice, Joe.  We can discuss astronomy."  

After about 15 minutes the computer shut off.  The next guy pushed the button.

"I am Brainiac The Computer.  What is your name and IQ?"

The second visitor said:  "Dan, 147."

The computer said:  "That's nice, Dan.  We can discuss Einstein's Theory of Relativity."

After about 15 minutes the computer shuts off, until the next guy pushes the button.

"I am Brainiac The Computer.  What is your name and IQ?"

The third visitor said:  "Roy, 65."

The computer then said:  "That's a BIG 10-4, good buddy!"

No what's cruel is that he will still need to explain the joke to him.....

1) Yes

The guy who looks suspiciously like you in that "magic window" in your bathroom doesn't count.

I was gaining respect for you. I thought you had some great ideas. You seemed to be a bright cadet. Then you did it. The Candy Band. The Chicken Band. If I ever meet up with you and you say to me "Snowman, you got your ears on?", then I can't be held responsible for my own actions ;D

It was on CB Channel 39 LSB way back in 1987 that I was Introduced into Amateur Radio, and the Skills I learned thru Ham radio are  the reason I was recruited by CAP.
So, I guess I owe My membership in CAP to CB radio  :D So You see, Citizen Band radio isn't so bad after all. and FYI...My IQ is 125 ;D

Remember Lieutenant, the only difference between a CB radio and a CAP radio is Ch10 Xtals are reversed  ;)

Thank you for the info sir. I am a general class HAM, and a senior rated CAP Communicator. I'm not too familiar with a lot of the electronic stuff, but I can get my radio to work when needed. It's always nice to have a electronically inclined fellow help ;)

So, what kind did you get? 

Last year I blew up a Texas Ranger w/ SSB.  Downgraded to a Cobra 19DX4.  Fits in the Jeep better anyways. 

Won't tell you how I blew it up but given the CB world, one can guess ;D
